Possible FPCs

Experimenting with a permanent section on my talk page. I've opened sections at COM:CRIT in the past, but I'm uncomfortable posting there too often and/or taking up a lot of space there. So here are images I'm considering (as is or after edit) for featured picture candidates. I plan to add/remove from this section semi-regularly. If you think one is a particularly good or bad idea, or if you have thoughts about potential edits, please let me know below!

I would support File:Oculus (41323p).jpg, File:Oculus (41331p)b.jpg, File:City Hall Station (32155).jpg and if the CA was fixed File:Ellis Island hospital (01897).jpg. --Cart (talk) 19:44, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Thanks. Only reason I didn't nominate the Oculus before is that just after I went there, someone else submitted a picture of the same place to FPC. Figured I'd wait. Probably waited long enough now, though. :) — Rhododendrites talk |  22:15, 10 July 2019 (UTC) My search for material to nominate at FPC has led me here :). I really like the cemetery with the cherry blossoms but I don't know if the FP crowd will think it has enough 'wow'. I think it's probably a 50-50 thing but I might nominate it and see how it does. I think the ones that are likeliest are to pass FPC are these three bird pics and I'd vote for any of them, but the best for me is the kestrel because it's so colourful. The other one I like is this, I know you already have an FP of this museum but this one is a bit different. Cmao20 (talk) 14:36, 23 January 2020 (UTC) Thanks, Cmao20. I appreciate the feedback. I do like the cemetery shot -- it's been in my "potential" [FP/QI/VI] category and in this section for a long time. My concern is less about "wow" than about wanting bit more sharpness? I almost nominated the hummingbird before, but something about the image seemed lacking. It was an unusual gray sky that day, which I really liked while I was there but didn't turn out as well in the photo. Still, it seems a bit better than other images we have of that species. The goose is clear, gives a good view of its natural sneer, and was out of its natural habitat in Harlem Meer.</rhyme> I just expect some "distracting background" or "no wow" comments. The kestrel may work, but I'd want to do another pass at editing to do some selective denoising. — Rhododendrites talk |  15:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC) The cemetery shot looks sharp enough to me, I wouldn't worry about that - it's less sharp at the corners than the centre but that's obviously normal, and the sharpness is good overall. One thing I would correct though, having a second look is that there is some blue CA on the branches at the top right. You may be right about the goose, but I think it probably stands a good chance anyway. You have my support if you choose to nominate any of these, anyway; I think I shall nominate the hummingbird myself if that's OK. Cmao20 (talk) 18:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC) @Cmao20: It looks like my lightroom catalog with those modifications got lost, so I redid it and did some additional work on the CA (there was also some green CA visible along the edges of some gravestones). Uploaded. I've generally no objection to nominating anything unless it's something I want to edit first (most of the time I only upload things after editing, though). Thanks! — Rhododendrites talk |  23:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC) ... just my 2 cents: File:Common grackle iridescence in CP (43218).jpg, File:Ring-billed gulls in Red Hook (42792).jpg and File:Squirrel in CP (40494).jpg all have excellent compo. I especially love the gulls, lining up like the three dock thugs they probably are. The light in the squirrel photo is great. Both these photos show animals that have adapted perfectly to human habitats, and the subtle urban backgrounds show this. The grackle colors against the dirt are simply beautiful. Contrast both in color and texture. --Cart (talk) 14:04, 29 May 2021 (UTC) @W.carter: thanks. the grackle was a likely nom. I know that some will complain about the ugly background, but as you say the contrast is part of why I like it. My only hesitation with the gulls was, well, that there's already one of this species from this spot that day. :) Speaking of dock thugs, this is the neighborhood where w:On the Waterfront was set. The squirrel ... I've wrestled whether to remove that one from the list for a little while. I love the light and color, but it is pretty small in the frame and the shot overall isn't as crisp as it could be. Glad to hear you mention it, though. — Rhododendrites talk |  14:22, 29 May 2021 (UTC) Well, the grackle seems to be off to a good start at least. :-) --Cart (talk) 17:17, 30 May 2021 (UTC) 👍 — Rhododendrites talk |  23:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)  Comment I really love the forward facing wren! It's a bit like the sort of photos that have made Carl Bovis' account so popular. It also have the same kind of humor that made the ravens POTY. Ok, it would probably take some heat from the "bird talibans" on FPC, but I would nominate it instantly myself if I knew it wouldn't mess up some more important nom of the same species for you. ;-) Anyway, if you need some not-so-serious non-birder to take the risk with a nom to protect your good bird-name, just say the word! --Cart (talk) 18:37, 30 June 2021 (UTC) @W.carter: Ha. Thanks. Go for it if you want. I spent a while with these marsh wrens trying to get some combination of singing, not too far, not obstructed, sharp enough, and decent light... this one ticks...most? of those boxes? There will definitely be "oppose background" objections, though. Sadly, I don't think any of the marsh wren shots were a slam dunk for FPC. Trying to think about whether one of the killdeer chicks might work. First time I've seen them and they're just so stupid cute. Maybe if I turn this one and this one into a gif... :) (they do that move where they straighten up and go back down once really quickly as they search for food... it looks like they're hiccupping). — Rhododendrites talk |  19:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC) The killdeer chicks are adorable! :-) So we both know that gifs are a no-no on FPC, but fix one anyway for educational purposes and link it plus the other photo in the 'Other version' slot in the description. Then I think you could actually nominate both pics as a set: "Killdeer chick walking". I mean, we have "kingfishers swallowing a fish" and doing other stuff, so why not? You might want to get rid och the blown highlights in the central white feathers first. --Cart (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2021 (UTC) @W.carter: → — Rhododendrites talk |  22:02, 30 June 2021 (UTC) Super cute! Go for it. --Cart (talk) 22:20, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

• Stumbled upon this section again, and I must say the mockingbird striking a pose is excellent. The background mirroring its contours makes it look like it's center stage at some 1920s Broadway production. Just my 2 c. (I was looking to see if you were covering the NYC Easter Parade in some way.) --Cart (talk) 14:13, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks, W.carter. Nominated. It looks like I may have come too close to its nest. "Too close" is relative, though -- mockingbirds can be quite aggressive in defending their nests/territories, divebombing passersby, etc. As for parades, I haven't quite gotten back into the habit of event photos since the pandemic started. I went out a few times for photos of George Floyd protests, but that's about it. I did resume applying for press passes again, though -- got one for a science conference, and one pending for Comic Con. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  23:37, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

• Good luck! The chipmunk is great too, I just didn't mention it since there might be an overload of cute furry small critters. ;-) I can't get enough of them, but a lot of folks here are sooo serious. Hope both noms pull through. :-) --Cart (talk) 07:48, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Unfortunately not. Since I'm very allergic, it's hard for me to have animals as friends. But I'm totally shameless when it comes to stealing short moments with dogs or cats I meet when I'm out and about with the camera. :-) The camera is a good way of striking up conversations and get a few moments of quality animal time. --Cart (talk) 21:59, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Aristeas: Happy New Year! Smart move making the card a template. That way you can wait until we've all archived it and forgotten and change it to something crazy. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites, good idea. ;–) I was aware that normally such “cards” are either distributed via copy and paste or by inserting a template with {{subst:...}} – the result is the same. I also thought about the potential abuse of a template. But I am so used to avoid redundancy in anything related to coding that I cound not stand the idea to duplicate the same text so many times, therefore I opted for using a template. I hope this is tolerable. At least any subsequent changes can be tracked easily by looking at the template’s revision history. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

tree trunks

Hi Rhododendrites, Happy hollidays. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC) 16:52, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Ottawahitech. [Belatedly] same to you! Glad you like that photo -- first time I'd ever seen that "UFO" style of architecture, I think. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Actually, it is not the architecture that drew my uneducated attention. It was the trees framing the buildings. I have studied many of your photos, and I love the look of the trees, mainly the tree trunks. But as I said I have a totally untrained eye. Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

You've posted this picture few years ago : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Comme_des_Garcons_at_the_Met_(62467).jpg I've writed the article on those dresses : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumps_%26_Bumps on the french Wikipedia. I would like to know if you have another picture(s) from those 8 dresses (in close-up for example), to put on Commons ?

Thanks. Arroser (talk) 16:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
